Health Services Research
Nowgen is committed to improving clinical practice in genetic medicine. By investigating opportunities to optimise the delivery of current and future genetics services, whilst mapping out priorities for patients and their families, we seek to make clinical genetics services more effective and a better experience for patients.
Our innovative approach comprises the evaluation of clinical genetics services, research into the economic, legal, and social dimensions of genetics, and projects mainstreaming genetics services in the NHS.
Current Projects
Valuation and Evaluation of Clinical Genetics Services
Projects developing tools to measure outcomes of clinical genetics services.
The Target Study
The first prospective randomised controlled study of a pharmacogenetic test in the NHS.
Comparative Genomic Hybridisation
A health economic evaluation of the impact of introducing this test into clinical practice in the NHS.
Past Projects
Integrating Care Pathways for People with Genetic Conditions
Projects to improve services for people with genetic conditions, to ensure their complex health needs are met effectively in Primary and Secondary care.
Opthalmic Genetic Tests A study to identify the information required to evaluate the economic impact of a genetic test for X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).
